In June 2026, Janet and I spent a week in Peru on a Compassion International Vision Trip. We two days visiting Compassion’s Frontline Church Partners in Lima and three days around Cajamarca. It was an emotionally heavy trip, seeing the conditions in which children lived, but also heartwarming and hopeful to see how successful the Church can be in these situations, especially when partnered with Compassion. Below is a reflection post about our trip, followed by my six daily blogs, written each night to capture the raw feelings.
